The old church in the village.

The imposing castle on the Dordogne River is noticeable from afar. It's a bit of a challenge to walk up the village to the castle, as the narrow streets are very steep.

From La Roque-Gageac, drive along the Dordogne early in the morning before the pedestrians and turn left at the campsite to avoid the main road with a lot of traffic from cars and trucks.

A detour off the road at dawn in the middle of summer that turned out to be a very good choice. The fun part is between La Roque Gageac and the campsite along this route. I recommend taking the smaller roads near the campsite to avoid the main road crossing the Dordogne by the bridge, which can get busy after 8 a.m.

A small church that invites you to rest after the hustle and bustle outside. Swallows are also allowed to nest here.

The old town of Sarlat is worth the detour and has its own little charm!

The cloister is very beautiful. Whether it is worth the entrance fee is something everyone has to decide for themselves.

There is an exhibition about medieval military equipment in the castle. It is particularly nice for children. The view is also worth it.
